The show is set to be the first large concert for the Fayette County Fair in many years. Ag Society Board President Ryan Sparrgrove says he's planning on a big Saturday night at the Fair.

"Our vision is to offer great family entertainment for all ages that keeps people wanting to come back," Sparrgrove said about his team's vision.  "We've been missing the concert piece for many years now.

"We are excited to have great artists on stage and great sponsors like Casey's General Stores, AM 950 KOEL, K-98.5, and Bemiss Distributing to help us make it all possible. We hope to make the concert an annual event in the Grandstand," he added.

Paslay's self-titled debut album, released in February 2014, features his Gold- certified No. 1 hit "Friday Night" and his current hit "She Don't Love You" which is climbing the charts and currently stands at number 20. He is a GRAMMY ACM and CMA nominated artist.

Paslay has co-penned five No. 1 hits including "Friday Night," "Rewind" (Rascal Flatts), "Even If It Breaks Your Heart" (Eli Young Band), "Barefoot Blue Jean Night" (Jake Owen) and "Angel Eyes" (Love & Theft). USA Today calls Paslay "flat-out brilliant" and American Songwriter names him as influencer of country music.

The Texas native has made appearances on ABC’s Good Morning America, Fox & Friends and The Queen Latifah Show over the last year. Paslay is currently on his headlining Make Every Night Friday Night tour. For more information on Paslay's tour, visit EricPaslay.com.

Kane is slated to open the show and then play in the beer garden after the concert.
